I have been trying to understand Hyperfocal Distance since I first picked up a camera about a year ago. I have had several people explain it to me, but I never understood it as well as I do after watching your tutorials. They are so clear and easy to understand.

What's Included?

The thought process for each individual image we shoot. It’s the next best thing to spending a few hours shooting alongside professional nature photographers in the field.

The camera, lenses, and special equipment we used for each photo in this book. This information is especially useful for those who want to capture high quality photos on your own.

The ND filter that will help reduce the amount of light that reaches your sensor when you are shooting. This special filter lets you use a higher shutter speed so you can capture the crashing waves with a silky and ethereal effect.

How to remove distracting elements from your images and shift the focus to the most interesting part of the scene. This is what separates mundane snapshots from award-winning fine-art photographs.

The GND filter you can use when you want to capture the sky in your seascape images. It reduces the overall dynamic range and allows you to capture all the vital details in the scene.

I love how they’ve broken down the Behind the Lens course into different subject areas. It makes it easier to recall the information in the field.

All-in-all, The Essential Filters Course along with the others in this series, are the most informative and easy to learn instruction I have taken. I am a complete fan of Jay and Varina and love their instructions.

The Hyperfocal Distance Course is excellent and enlightening. It will definitely come in useful when I go to the Yading Nature Reserve in China next week on a photography trip.

Essential Filters Course would have saved me from frustrating photos that were a result of using filters wrong or not understanding when and how to use them. Another great tutorial series from Jay & Varina.

You offer an incredible photography learning experience. With two terrific instructors who are great to learn from, and fun to be with, I couldn’t ask for more.

How To Catch The Waves

Landscape photographers love to shoot beaches and coastlines. It’s an absolute pleasure. But just because we enjoy it doesn’t mean it’s easy.

You might ask, “What could be so hard about taking photos of the beach?”

There’s the sunlight, the chance of over-exposure, uncontrollable waves crashing into the rocks, your tripod sinking deep in the wet sand, salty mist messing up your lenses… and of course, the fact that you might be getting wet.

In this book, you’ll learn our best tips, tricks, and techniques so you can radically improve your photography skills when you’re shooting beautiful beaches and coastlines.

This is the second eBook in the wildly popular Workflow Series. This time, join Varina and Jay as they visit six stunning coastlines - from Bahia Honda in Florida to the Makawehi Lithified Cliffs in Hawaii!

Examine the decisions they make in the field... and on the computer during processing. Take this opportunity to climb inside the mind of professional wilderness photographers.
